Inclusivity Accessibility Statement

1. Our Commitment

At Kiranam Eye Clinic, we believe that healthcare information and online booking services must be usable for all individuals, regardless of physical or cognitive ability. We aim to design our digital assets to support accessibility, ensuring that patients with low vision, color blindness, or motor limitations can easily access our treatment guides, patient forms, and scheduling systems.

2. Standards & Guidelines

To make our digital platforms fully inclusive, we follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 standard. Our target specification is Level AA compliance.

These guidelines define methods to make web content more accessible for people with sensory, physical, and cognitive impairments, and more user-friendly for everyone.

3. Accessibility Features

Our platform incorporates several modern accessibility parameters to aid smooth navigation:

• Contrast & Typography: We employ high-contrast color palettes and typography sizes designed to improve readability under various ambient lighting conditions and visual sharpness levels.
• Keyboard Navigation: All critical interactive elements, forms, and navigation layers can be accessed and triggered using standard keyboard shortcuts (e.g. Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Space).
• Screen Reader Compatibility: We utilize semantic HTML5 elements alongside ARIA properties to accurately describe buttons, links, form states, and modal structures to assistive technologies.
• Configurable Transitions: Motion effects are designed to respect the browser's `prefers-reduced-motion` settings, reducing animations to prevent discomfort.
• Explicit Manual Overrides: Complex features like the initial blurred visual simulator (Hero component) provide prominent manual triggers and slider interfaces to skip or control transitions.

4. Known Limitations

While we strive to adhere to accessibility guidelines across our entire web portal, certain legacy components or third-party integrations (such as Google Maps embed frames or social review feeds) may have limitations outside of our direct programmatic control.

We actively monitor these components and advocate for accessible third-party options to improve compliance.
